William was the one that really brought the whole castle building craze to England. Stone fortresses were not all that common at the time of Alfred. What stone structures did exist were often remnants of Roman engineering.
That being said, the placement is wrong from what I was thinking. After all, we are talking about this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamburgh_Castle
Just he wooden fort that existed prior to this Norman castle.
Well that doesn't look unapproachable either. One main fairly steep road, and then maybe a very narrow steep path to the ocean is how I thought of it.
And my mind always had it on the Northwest coast as well. Don't know why. I knew stone wasn't very prevalent, I guess I just pictured an old Roman fort or something.
